What are so examples of uses of R&D's Secret Lair?


You can make Island Sanctuary prevent damage to you from your non-flying creatures. Works well with things like Orcish Artillery.Orcish Oriflamme and Orcish Artillery cost 1R.You can make the player pay for your drink with Ashnod’s Coupon.

Alpha Set Trivia

New 06 Mar 2017 Asked by slayer35000 28 Comments

Hi Mark! It was my birthday last Friday and I'd like to get some unknown trivia on my favorite set of all times, the very first: Alpha.


The wording of the Alpha Island Sanctuary kept you from being damaged by any creature that didn’t fly or gave island walk including your own. It comboed well with Orcish Artillery (also misprinted at a cheaper cost in Alpha) because Island Sanctuaryy would prevent the damage to you from it, as it didn’t fly or gave islandwalk.Happy Birthday!

Orcish Cards Reflavor

New 16 Feb 2016 Asked by onceandfuturetales 20 Comments

Is Orcish Artillery a flavor reprint of Orcish Cannoneers to remove the gun?


Orcish Cannoneers is a reflavored reprint of Orcish Artillery. Orcish Artillery (with a misprinted cost interestingly) was in Alpha.

Card Misprints

Orcish Artillery, Orcish Oriflame, Cyclopean Tomb all were wrong


Correct. Orcish Artillery and Orcish Oriflamme were both incorrectly listed as 1R instead of 1RR and 3R respectively. Cyclopean Tomb was missing a mana cost all together.

Mirari Card Speculation

New 23 Feb 2013 Asked by ancient-chaos 3 Comments

Re: Mirari - The remnants of it should still be somewhere in New Phyrexia. And since we've seen white, blue, black, and green, aligned Mirari cards, Return to New Phyrexia should have a red Mirari influenced card... And then it can be gone forever.


EDIT: Oh Tumblr. The actual question was about what kinds of things R&D Secret Lair can do. The card can do all sorts of crazy things. I just said it only affects what the card does and not the rules around it. An example from the top of my head - You can play Alpha Orcish Artillery for 1R and then use Alpha Island Sanctuary to prevent its damage to you as it is nonflier and nonislandwalker.
